Cobra Daytona Rolling Trellis (PICS)
After some heavy thinking I decided to buy the Exoto Cobra Daytona Rolling Trellis to accompany the # 6 Daytona I bought a couple of weeks ago.
An eBay-seller was friendly enough to put it up for sale and after a week I received the model.
Unpacking it took some careful reading and then there it was.
I really must say that this is truly a magnificent work of art.......just incredible how Exoto did it...
And ofcourse the history behind this is very interesting, too...
Just imagine working with this English Wheel to shape the metal pieces.
But before I unpacked the model, I noticed that it had been made in the U.A.E., which stands for United Arab Emirates.
Well, well, isn't that amazing ?
I never, ever knew that that country also produced modelcars.
What could be the reason Exoto decided to build it there ?
Below are two pictures of the model, taken from Exotos web-site.

That's just beautiful! Congrats on your acquiring it and thnx for the pics!
I've always liked the 1:1 Daytona coupes and have 2 models of them.

Joop if I'm not mistaken that is where Exoto's factory is. Maybe they saw the writing on the wall years ago and built a factory in UAE
